Just yesterday, we told you about Jonathan Turley warning Robert Francis O'Rourke that he was entering the FO stage of FAFO.

Last Friday, a judge issued an order blocking O'Rourke from fundraising for his Democratic colleagues who fled Texas to prevent a quorum and delay a vote on redistricting the Lone Star State.

Now Attorney General Ken Paxton is trying to hold O'Rourke in contempt for violating the court order:

Heh.

Ken, please make sure somebody posts a picture of him doing the perp walk. We live by rules, and those who do not live by the rules, must suffer the consequences. You’re doing a great job with Texas, by the way. You have a big fan, here in Indiana. 👍
